Does as advertised: sets the "taunt event" for the Shred Alert to 30 (magic numbers!) at 3.15 seconds, which is when the Shred Alert's taunt was presumably supposed to explode and kill nearby players. Valve's code does the rest, causing the explosion, fire damage, etc.

Note that the kill icon won't show up, typically, unless clients add the entry for taunt_guitar_riff_kill to their mod_textures.txt file:

Spoiler

        "taunt_guitar_riff_kill"
        {
                "dfile"    "HUD/d_images_v3"
                "dnegfile"    "HUD/dneg_images_v3"
                "x"        "256"
                "y"        "448"
                "width"        "128"
                "height"    "32"
        }

Cvars:
shredalert_tauntkill_version - ignore this

FlaminSarge, I've installed this plugin on our server and it has worked as advertised. One suggestion we've had is to give us the ability set the radius of the kill zone. As it currently works, we've had others within the outer circle of the taunt not die when shred explodes. If you're right up close (like touching) it'll kill every time. So if there's any way for you to add some cvars and a config file, we'd appreciate it.

[FlaminSarge]

This uses Valve's built-in stuff. I think Valve has a hidden cvar for the radius on the Rainblower/Shred Alert tauntkill things. Not sure.

Can you fix this after today's update?

[FlaminSarge]

Probably. Will do it when I can.

[jpwanabe]

Awesome. I love seeing people getting kills with this.

Plugin loads correctly, however has no effect.
Nothing is displayed which would show an error.
Running SM 1.6.3 dev +4580

If you could fix this I'd be very happy to give you something for it.
Thanks

I think Valve may have changed the actual taunt event itself; I don't know whether I can fix it.

[Tally]

Ah, that's really sad. It was a nice concept.

Oh well, thanks for all the work you put into plugin development anyway

So here's the deal:
The Shred Alert AOE damage used to be taunt attack number 30. Now, that taunt attack spawns the particles and makes the sound, rather than dealing the damage. No other taunt attack deals the damage with the proper kill icon/damage source.

At best, I can make it so that this plugin has the same effect as the Rainblower taunt (keep in mind that the original Shred Alert tauntkill was the exact same as the Rainblower taunt but with a different kill icon and damage 'source').

I'll post the update once I get it done.

EDIT: Updated. Woohoo.
